SCENE VIII.

Cratander solus.
Cra.
Punish! by Heav'n he dares not;
Those Eyes have forc'd me to forget my Friendship,
And any Chain is easy now to break;
All but my Love, and that repuls'd with Scorn
Revenge shall follow, led by Desperation.
AIR.
No longer I'll bear
In the Heart of the Fair,
A Rival thus happy to reign;
While I in Despair,
Tormented with Care,
For ever must sigh and complain.
9

Assist me, Lachesis!
Assist me, Nemesis!
Ye Furies! ye Destinies aid!
Their Union divide,
And vanquish the Pride,
Of this charming, this obstinate Maid.

[Exit.
